Introduction
Welcome
T
HE Evo series from Pike Signals
delivers a breakthrough
in combined vehicle and pedestrian phase control within
portable systems. Drawing upon our long history within vehicle
control dating back to 1932 and particularly our pioneering work
with high-reliability radio-linked computerised systems, the Evo
series is so named because it represents a natural, yet hard
fought evolution to be the best. The best for reliability, the best for
flexibility and the best for safety.
Evo series controllers provide great flexibility, adherence to four
Highways Agency specifications (TR 2502B, TR2503B, TR 2537A
and TR 2538A) and a compact size that allows their use in most
Pike Signals housings.
The Evo series is centred around a range of controllers, which
can support up to nine vehicle phases and can operate as
master or slave. This means that with a fleet of Evo controllers
you will be able to configure the equipment in any order,
maximising utilisation.
The Evo series provides vehicle control, vehicle control with
pedestrian facilities and pedestrian only control. Using the PT5
controller as a Master provides up to five vehicle phases and a
pedestrian facility with up to four crossing points.
To ensure that no job is too large for the Evo series, the PT4
expansion controller connects directly to the PT5 and raises the
maximum capabilities of the system to nine vehicle phases and a
further four pedestrian crossing points.
